Meditations on Philosophy Podium
Chapter 25: The Enigma of Cocaine in Mummies
by Imy Maktitaoui
In this chapter, Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig, Dogon High Priest exposes some of the lies from the modern "scientific" community and explains the impact these have had on all of humanity. I can relate this article to all that is wrong with the world we live in today. It is painful to remember that at one time we all lived in harmony with each other and with our environment and that this simple truth has been stolen from the conscious memory of many human beings today. However, the sheer number of lies that have been "proved" to support this theft and the lives that have been destroyed in the process may leave one wondering if such a harmonious existence can ever again be recovered.
My personal experience in the fields of anthropology and archaeology further validate the position of this chapter. In fact, I often wondered naively why the science devoted to the study of man never had the goal of cataloging the contributions various cultures have made to the collective experience of humans on this planet. I know now why such a thing would never happen.
This chapter has shifted my consciousness yet again. This information needs to be made available to every person on the planet. People cannot consider themselves educated without knowing the true reality/history of events concerning their ancestors and the planet on which they were born. That the Americas were originally known as Melanesia is an epiphany in the face of the lies widely sold today. Now the challenge for us is to decide what to do with the truth and how best to utilise it for the good of all. To this end, I have determined that patience is the best approach. A lie will not hold back the truth for very long. Our time is coming; we just have to make sure we are ready to lead the world when everyone looks to us for guidance.
Chapter 32: The Conquest of the Soul
by Ymoat Maktitaoui
This chapter exposes how the modern system has stolen our given birth rights and true identity as human beings to the point where we have become lost souls conquered by the ambitions of others.
Modern society has been a major distraction to the spiritual growth of every individual. It has conquered our minds by conditioning us to react like animals incapable of "reason"; pulled right and left by only pure emotion. It has distorted the mind for many generations, letting our souls perish through ignorance and hatred. We have lost our connection to our true self and purpose as human beings. We have left our ancestors hungry and have disconnected ourselves from reality and from the important duties that protect the bloodline. It is our ancestors that live within us and that have given us life. By not recognising and validating our roots, we become subjects (objects) of play for this colonial system which has no intention to help but instead to destroy our self existence by disconnecting us from our true identity that has been defined by our traditional culture (ancestors).
It all confirms this proverb by the priest Ptahotep of the temple of Memphis: "When foolishness is rewarded, wisdom becomes useless". We have been born weak and at the disadvantage of having our families and children raised in the modern system that provides us everything: all tools, reasons, questions, and answers for everything it raises us to perceive. Since school, we are never to ask questions like "why" things are the way they are, etc. We are always given an illogical reason. We are always pushed to go after our dreams and to become that role model/hero we observe on TV... Never are we presented the possibility to work within ourselves in order to grow the soul and spirit and our spiritual connection to the Divine World. We have sacrificed our spirit and corrupted our souls by humanising Gods and choosing to believe and have faith based on our own perceptions of reality. Our ignorance and self-pride and our belief in our own intelligence have brought us to stupidity and a complex distortion of reality.
Master Naba brings us to the realisation that where we are now is the result of our ways of thinking and understanding our surroundings. We have become spiritually incarcerated of for not having any knowledge of our obligations to our ancestors. There's only one reality, yet we have created many perceptions of the same reality, creating chaos and confusion in humanity. We live within the same world, under the same values, under the same spiritual structure. It is up to us to implement reality and to wake up from our self-indulgence -- self-destruction. It is time that we regain the truth about our soul and spirit, our true power through the Ancestral Spirit.

Chapter 50: Understanding Reincarnation - The Notion of Destiny
by Temaikiu Nehesu
My understanding of reincarnation before I came to the EC was that shortly after an elder dies, a baby will be born, and the elder will reincarnate in that baby. If the elder displayed bad behaviour then they will reincarnate into something other than a human. I was taught that at the temple during a summer camp back home in Japan, when I was a child.
For my family, my great grandmother was a strict practitioner of our spirituality, Shinto. She chanted everyday and made offerings to the ancestors every morning. Three month after she passed away, I was born into this world and, coincidentally, after my great grandfather passed away, my sister was born within a month. My family and I still believe that both of them immediately reincarnated into me and my sister.
Now I see why I came to the EC: my ancestors (my great grandmother) wanted me to study this knowledge which is similar to Shinto. This notion of ancestral reincarnation explains why I've always found myself doing things without instruction, training or a reason: praying whenever I pass in front of a statue of a Deity or chanting at my ancestors cemetery when I was a little girl.
The goal of a human being is to become like the Neteru one day. The Gods gave us the 77 commandments to bring us closer to them. Even the many of the Neteru started out as mortals -- weak like a human being, but they progressed to the advanced path by purifying themselves. Supported by the 77 Commandments, they became stronger and eventually Neteru. Since our brain can't invent anything new, the best we can do for ourselves is to imitate and follow what is already established.
At the same time, we are vulnerable and easily corrupted. I can see it within myself, something that is my challenge on a daily basis. We must be dedicated to making progress, reinforcing ourselves in this generation and the next, to follow the 77 Commandments in order to get closer to the Neteru. That is why the ancestral spirit is very significant for us. They saw something already before and provided us with the best option. We must respect them by feeding their spirit so that they can help us more. As humans we should keep in mind that we don't really know what's best for us. But our ancestors do: what is best for us is to imitate them.
When I had my reading, I didn't like what I heard from my ancestors. I went in the opposite direction from what my ancestors had set up for me because my ego and emotions blocked all out my logic. I thought I knew what was best for me, but once again, I totally forgot that the ancestors know way more than I about everything. I can't see what is going to be happening tomorrow, but they can. I must not forget where I came from and where I belong. to I do not belong to anyone but my ancestors.
Even where my life is right now is exactly where my ancestors wanted it to be. 7th generations of the grandmother on our father's side set the destiny for what she wants life to be for my sister and me. I know I am blessed, for that is the prenatal destiny called Yen Miali. The conditional destiny is called Yen Cabili, and I can negotiate this with my ancestors if the conditions are not to my liking.
When I learnt the situation of my life from the reading, I asked to negotiate with ancestors to change it to what I wished for. But the answer was that if I did negotiate with ancestors by offering, one of us would have to die. Because my wish went against them, I had to have a price for that. I didn't go through with the negotiation with my ancestors because I realised that it was not worth it.
I realised that there is another path set for me by ancestors and that I must follow it. I just have to be patient and trust my ancestors because to ignore or neglect the ancestral spirit is really to refuse to exist. I didn't come from nowhere; I came from them so I belong to them....
